High schoolers collect and graph data. In this statistics lesson, students analyze their plotted data using a scatter plot. They identify lines as having positive, negative or no correlation.

Students measure and convert between units. In this geometry lesson, students investigate through measurements of distances. They relate the properties of circle to solving problems with radius, diameter and area.

Learners gain practice reading coordinates and plotting points by participating in the Coordinates! Game. They demonstrate and test their skills with graph paper and the Maze Game.

Students explore the concept of patterns. In this patterns lesson, students use applets to manipulate tessellations. Students predict the next number in a sequence by recognizing patterns.

High schoolers write the distance formula to solve equations for finding the distance between 2 points. In this distance formula lesson plan, students also write sentences explaining why their formulas would work.

Students observe a pendulum and graph their observation. In this algebra instructional activity, students use the TI calcualtor to graph the motion the pendulum makes. They analyze the graph and make predictions.

Eighth graders evaluate statistical equations. They examine data from archaeologists at Jamestown, complete statistical equations using the sets of data, and graph the results.

Students make informed choices among technology systems, resources, and services. They select and apply technology tools for research, information analysis, problem solving, and decision making in content learning.

Pupils construct models of various tricubes, tetracubes, and pentacubes that are possible, classify n-cubes into different groupings, and draw these figures on isometric dot paper giving true perspective to what they visualize.

Students explore properties of triangles using angle bisectors, incenters, circles, midpoints, and altitudes. They use Geometer's Sketchpad in order to create triangles and their properties.

Seventh graders investigate the concept of looking at the data put in a variety of ways that could include graphs or data sets. They analyze data critically in order to formulate some sound conclusions based on real data. Students graph...

High schoolers use an interactive website or cd rom to graph equations. The lesson plan is not very clearly written. The use of the website is essential or the educational software that can be purchased from the Prentice Hall publisher.

Students solve problems with triangles. In this geometry lesson, students analyze shapes to find different triangles. They name the shapes created by putting triangles together.

Students explore the concept of finding the composition of seawater.  In this finding the composition of seawater instructional activity, students make a saturated salt water solution.  Students discuss why there is variation...

In this lesson plan, students will explore ways that mathematics are used in basketball. Students will explore the concept of a function and will learn to use function notation. Students will recognize, describe, and represent quadratic...

Lesson 2 of 4 for Passport to Advanced Math. Young scholars will build quadratic and exponential functions that model a given context; solve radical equations; work with rational expressions, including fractions with a variable in the...

In this lesson, students will learn the main parts of a parabola and solve quadratic equations by factoring.

Lesson 1 of 4 for Passport to Advanced Math. Students will add, subtract, and multiply polynomials. They will build quadratic functions and write equations to represent a context.

Using calculators, students investigate quadratic functions using geometric toothpick designs in this lesson that with a review of transformations of quadratic functions, vertical and horizontal shifts, and stretches and shrinks.

This task is a followup to the one called 'Building an explicit quadratic function.' In this one, students follow the same process with a general quadratic function. The operations take place in the opposite order and the goal is to find...

This task is intended to help students see more clearly the link between factorization of polynomials and zeroes of polynomial functions. The argument here generalizes to show that a polynomial of degree d can have at most d roots....

This is the first of a series of problems building to an understanding of an important property of polynomial functions, that a polynomial of degree d can have at most d roots. Aligns with A-APR.B.2.

For this task, students work through the steps and operations involved in the composition of an explicit quadratic function. The task assumes that the students are familiar with the process of completing the square. Aligns with F-BF.B.3...

In this task, students are shown a table with linear, quadratic, and exponential functions at various values of x and are asked to match the function type to each data set and explain their reasoning. Aligns with F-LE.A.1.b and F-LE.A.1.c.
